Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce a new Special Issue of the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering on marine fish parasites.
Interest in this field is rapidly growing, driven by both economic and ecological concerns. As already known, parasites can have a significant impact on fishing, aquaculture, and the marketability of commercially important fish species; additionally, some parasites have zoonotic potential.
On the other hand, marine parasites are being increasingly recognized for their significant contribution to elucidating various aspects of fish ecology, such as trophic relationships and migratory patterns. However, there is a paucity of fundamental information on this topic, particularly surrounding the taxonomy, life cycle, and distribution of marine fish parasites.
This Special Issue aims to collect a broad range of articles related to marine fish parasites, and we particularly encourage research that delves into their diversity, ecology, epidemiology, and pathogenic potential.
